so you're comparing the techniques of 2 Yuba City SWAT members vs. combat proven members of MARSOC and DELTA? maybe we need SOCOM to send our tier 1 guys to take classes from Yuba City SWAT!

(btw, both Magpul and Vickers teachings include the importance of skeletal structure with regards to shooting. please refrain from comparison if you've never taken their classes.)

No, not at all. I was citing one example amongst many of professionals who took issue with it. Don't twist what I said just because you have a different view point. You and I get along pretty well. Just because I disogree with you on one minor aspect of our shooting techniques is no reason to get rude.

Thanks, I actually got rid of it a long time ago, it made the LOP a bit too long when running plates...

Ironically, my hand placement ends up only about one, maybe one and half handwidths further back than yours would on this build. That is where is is most comfortable for me and allows me to better control and support the rifle. Bear in mind I am 5'8" tall with relatively short arms. So it is not like you're drastically extended out further than I am...at least not on this build. If you're a 6' tall guy with freakishly long arms...then we're basically doing the same thing and arguing over nothing. I still index the grip and keep my thumb inline with but slightly over he bore. We hold the rifle the same way, I'm just not extended as far forward.
